2 Click FTP and choose Configure FTP Service.
3 Click the Advanced tab.
4 Choose the type of user environment you want to provide.
The “FTP Root and Share Points” environment sets up the Users directory as a share point.
Real users log in to their home directories, if they are available within the restricted
environment. Both real and anonymous users can see other users’ home directories in a
share point. (The directories are only accessible to users with access privileges, however.)
The “Home Directory with Share Points” environment logs real FTP users in to their home
directories. They have access to their home directories, to the FTP root, and to FTP share
points.
The “Home Directory Only” environment restricts real FTP to users’ home directories only.
Regardless of the user environment you choose, access to all data is controlled by access
privileges.
Anonymous users and real users who don’t have home directories (or whose home
directories are not located in a share point to which they have access) are always logged in at
the root level of the restricted FTP environment.
Specifying a Custom FTP Root
The Advanced settings allow you to specify the path for a custom FTP root.
To specify a custom FTP root:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click FTP and choose Configure FTP Service.
3 Click the Advanced tab.
4 Enter the new pathname for the FTP root.
5 If it does not already exist, create the directory you’ve specified and configure it as an FTP
share point.
Viewing FTP Logs
You use Server Status to view FTP logs.
To view FTP logs:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select FTP in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Log tab to view the transfer log.
